I am definitely in favor of this.
We have millions of users, with many of them organizations,
universities, non-profits, researchers, etc. who are relying on our
software and building on top of it. So, in addition to our own
developers needing to know about and discuss releases, we also have a
It would be a good idea to include a tentative release calendar at the
bottom of the weekly development update that Matthias has been helpfully
sending to this list. Capturing information in a release planning table
would be beneficial; it would have been hugely helpful last year for
planning
I think announcing and coordinating major (and probably even minor)
releases in the way that Matthias outlines is a great idea. I agree with

I'm certainly a fan.

increasing number of projects we have it can be hard to follow when
packages are going to be released, which often leads to very short
windows of time to give feedback or test the new version with existing
software.
